Pre-Registration Act (Defeated)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I said it before that I'm not a big fan of this proposal.

But anyway, something is missing in this proposal. There must be a time limit be set up when the poster must have the 75 posts. After this time he will be removed from the Pre-registration list.

I would suggest a time limit of a month.

I agree, there should a be a time limit. Being on the "Pre-registration list" should be for an eternity in length.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Perhaps in order to make the job easier for the registrar general, we could create a stickied thread titled "intent to register" which does not actually mean registration, but indicates that a poster on Atlas intends to register in Atlasia upon his or her fulfilling of the citizenship requirements.

This keeps the list loose-based and removes most responsibility from the registrar general while also giving Atlasians a general idea of which new users are showing interest.

If the intention to register was also included with a party, that party could send a friendly reminder to the user when he or she nears his or her fulfillment requirements.

This is an excellent idea, IMO.

I don't like the pre-registration thread idea.  It would be minimally used, create another complexity for newbies (I think we're tring to make things easier?), and there are already too many stickied threads.

I don't think this would be overly difficult for the RG to manage.  Just add a note in the comments section, saying something like "registration valid when 75 posts attained".  Then it would have to be checked when updates are made.  I really don't think there would  be a large number of these.

Agreed.

This is unnecessary. I don't think I will be voting for it.

Do you plan to persue this via amendment?

Mightn't be a bad idea.

Amendment offered as friendly:

An Atlas poster who has not met the requirements for registration in Atlasia may make his/her intent to participate in Atlasia known by posting in a thread designated for pre-registration.  This indication of future participation is not binding and the poster must still register once the requirements have been fulfilled.

Thoughts?  Changes?  Cookies?

[Purple State]

Adding yet another stickied thread is just not a good idea. The current system is not in need of fixing, so why break it?

I don't think that we get more members with it. But when you (the Senators) want to make something like this, then is the a Pre-Registration-List managed by the RG better than a new thread. This would make process of the Registration more complicated. The Pre-Registration-List only will make the life of the RG not easier

Yes, I oppose Snowguys amendment. I'm not a big fan of HW proposal, but I can live with a Pre-Registration-List + time limit.

HAPPYWARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!


Do you accept the amendment as friendly or hostile?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Oh Happy Warrior?


HAPPY WARRIOR!!!!!



I'm getting impatient.

[HappyWarrior]

I accept I'm sorry.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I accept I'm sorry.

But do you accept the amendment?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I'll take that as an acceptance of the amendment as friendly


Senators have 24 hours to object.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The amendment has passed and regular debate has resumed?


Is there any other business to come before the Senate on this bill?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This bill is now at a final vote. Senators please vote AYE, NAY, or Abstain

[bgwah]

nay

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Nay. It causes needless complications.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Aye

[HappyWarrior]

AYE

[Eraserhead]

Nay

The registration requirements should be thrown out entirely but while they are still here I don't really see what point this serves.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nay.


I support having restrictions of some kind but I think this bill has lost any potential marginal benefits it might have possessed at one point.

[Bacon King]

Aye
